An unusual case of irreducible volar metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint subluxation of the thumb is described. The tendon of the extensor pollicis longus (EPL) was trapped palmar to the metacarpal head and open reduction was necessary.

An irreducible closed dorsal dislocation of the distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint of the finger is a rare injury, often caused by factors such as the interposition of the volar plate, entrapment of the flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) tendon behind the head of the middle phalanx, or the buttonholing of the middle phalanx head through the volar plate or flexor tendon. This case report presents a rare instance of FDP avulsion combined with dorsal dislocation of the DIP joint in a 42-year-old male who sustained trauma to his right middle finger during a workplace accident. Clinical examination and imaging confirmed FDP avulsion along with dorsal dislocation of the DIP joint.

Introduction: Acute dislocation of distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) is a rare pathology. Most cases were managed with closed reduction, and few patients required open reduction through dorsal or volar approaches. We describe a patient who required open reduction using dual approaches.

Injury of the scapholunate ligament (SLL) complex can lead to scapholunate dissociation, characterized by scapholunate interval widening and volar rotary subluxation of the scaphoid. Loss of the mechanical linkage between the scaphoid and lunate results in carpal instability and eventual scapholunate advanced collapse (SLAC) arthropathy. SLL complex injuries vary from acute and traumatic to chronic and degenerative.

Posttraumatic midcarpal instability nondissociative (CIND) is an exceptional rare condition, therefore the outcome after different treatment options remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate the different treatment options for posttraumatic CIND. We also describe the different radiological and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in this patient cohort.
